📋 About This Mod
RED DEAD OFFLINE IS REQUIRED. this mod will not work if you already have a weapon/weapons YMT file from another mod. if you already have one then refer to the no strap mod and rifle holster mod for instructions on how to edit the weapons YMT FILE. i only made this mod so others can use no strap with rifle holster without having to go in and edit the files themselves to get the 2 to work together
installation instructions are in read me file ッ
MASSIVE THANKS TO erwasabo FOR THE STRAP REMOVAL TUTORIAL AND QwardNaffle FOR PERMISSION TO USE HIS RIFLE HOLSTER FILES
This mod combines two existing Red Dead Redemption 2 mods—erwasabo's no strap mod and QwardNaffle's rifle holster mod—into a single file. It removes the longarm strap from rifles while adding a holster, requiring Red Dead Offline. The author edited the weapons YMT file to achieve the effect, but did not create the original assets.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gets two popular mods in one download—no need to juggle separate files.
- Solid community backing with 78 endorsements and over 7,000 downloads.
- Simple edit that changes the look of your rifles without overhauling the game.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Red Dead Offline, so you're locked out of online play while using it.
- Only affects rifles—shotguns and other longarms keep their straps.
- Since it edits the weapons YMT file, it may conflict with other mods that touch the same file.
For Red Dead Redemption 2 players who want a cleaner look for their rifles, ditching the strap for a holster. If you're already using Red Dead Offline and want a quick visual tweak, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're playing online or want changes to all weapon types.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Red Dead Offline is installed and up to date before dropping in this mod.
- If you're using other weapon mods, install this one last to avoid overwriting your YMT edits.
- Test in single-player first to confirm the strap is gone and the holster appears as expected.
